Description:
Moving Picture World, founded in 1907 by J.P. Chalmers, was one of the motion picture industry's first trade papers. Published on a weekly basis in New York City, Moving Picture World informed exhibitors about films available for rental and editorialized on behalf of the growing industry (improving the quality of movies through higher filmmaking standards, not government censorship, was a frequent topic). The paper reached its height in the mid-to-late-1910s--a fact reflected in the circulation figures and the huge amount of advertising that filled every issue during the period. In the 1920s, Moving Picture World lost ground to other competing weekly trade papers -- including Variety, Exhibitor's Herald, and Motion Picture News. In 1927, Moving Picture World ceased publication when it was acquired by Martin Quigley's Exhibitor's Herald. Across the 20 year run of Moving Picture World, readers can watch the transition from short film programs to feature films and witness the transition from the dominance of Edison's Trust to the rise of the "Independent" film companies that ultimately became the Hollywood studios. Silent film historians have utilized and cited Moving Picture World more frequently than any other trade paper, and the publication still has many insights left to offer. -- Eric Hoyt, 2012/2013

Our latest invention, the Electric Drum Heater, entirely overcomes this difficulty, for by its use you can keep your drum brilliant and snappy regardless of the weather. This device can be attached to any drum and the connecting plug will fit any ordinary no-volt incandescent lamp socket. It gives no light; never burns out; may be turned on and off at will, or if desired, entirely removed in a few seconds time. Entire outfit, including the Heater proper, two connecting plugs, and six feet of cord, weighs eight ounces — the Heater but two. It is practically indestructible and can easily be carried in your drum case. Be sure and say whether you wish it for Snare Drum, Bass Drum, or Tympani, as each instrument requires a different strength.
